An optical splitter is a small, passive device—no power needed! —that splits one incoming light signal into multiple identical outputs. You'll often see ratios like 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, or even 1:64, which tell you how many ways the signal is divided. A “splitter” is a power splitter. Rarely, there can be two inputs to provide potential redundancy of route. Its primary role is in Passive Optical Networks (PON), which are the foundation of. This device is the heart of Passive Optical Networks (PON). It helps them distribute bandwidth efficiently. What is an Optical Splitter? An.
